I think this is not needed. Files in /var/lock and /var/run are already cleaned
by
rc.sysinit during boot process hence they should be already %ghost-ed now.
rpm doesn't complain on re-created directories:
# rpm -qf /var/run/abrt/
abrt-1.1.14-1.fc15.x86_64
# rm -rf /var/run/abrt/
# rpm -qV abrt
missing /var/run/abrt
# mkdir /var/run/abrt/
# rpm -qV abrt
#
So it should be sufficient to include them in /etc/tmpfiles.d/...conf and leave
them as regular dirs in package.
This would have minimal impact to changes in .spec files (no new scriplets
needed) and also to configurations
without tmpfs on /var/{run,lock}
